La Ley - "Histeria"

[kinglouiexviii]

Lately, I've been on a La Ley binge. I've been listening to all of my old cd's from Vertigo all they way up to 2005's greatest hits collection Historias e Histeria. This is one of the new tracks that was included in that compilation. I don't think it ever got much airplay, eventhough I think it's one of their best songs to date.

It has a "dance" quality to it. Now that Beto Cuevas is supposed to release a solo album, many are speculating his sound is going to be more electric-pop. Check it out:

Does anybody else miss La Ley?? :'(

I was never really a fan, but I've heard from many that their music got worse as they became more popular but I don't know...

What?

Not at all, it got better as they matured musically. Their early albums are actually somewhat lame. Many people did not like La Ley after the original lead singer died and Beto became his replacement.

I think their album UNO (2000) is one of the best alternative albums of the last decade!!

oh. I did not know that they had a lead singer that died. :o Shows how much how I know about Lay Ley.

Yeah, La Ley had been around for at least 10 years before Beto became the lead singer. I don't really care for their early material, though...
